I don't see a very good future for Dhoni: Qadir

Former Pakistan spinner Abdul Qadir has stated that judging by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's selection policy, he believes there is some obvious friction within the Indian team. "I don't like to comment on internal matters of Indian cricket but it is a fact that I don't see a very good future for Dhoni after this T20 WC. There is definite politics and problems within the Indian team," he said.

Qadir could not fathom how someone like Virender Sehwag had been kept away from the playing XI, "There is no way that you cannot play Sehwag in the T20 form of cricket. He is a one man army on his day and very destructive not playing him tells me something is wrong in the Indian camp."

The leg spinner believes that the uncertainty within the Indian camp could create a window of opportunity for Pakistan, "If there is any problem within the Indian camp it will be good for Pakistan who must take advantage and try to bat second."

Qadir also questioned Dhoni's unconventional ways of opening with Irfan Pathan, "At times I feel that Dhoni is too stubborn in selection matters and it hurts their team. Opening with Irfan Pathan when you have far better options available is hardly intelligent cricket."

Another thing that the former spinner expressed disappointment about was the quality of pitches, "At times I think the pitches have been two paced or too slow. At times there has been much break for the spinners. I would prefer it if the ICC had pitches made for batting with a little bit of juice in them. Crowds want to see thrilling close high scoring close finishes."
